Leaf Ninja Life

Chapter 31 Hokage and the Village
Following Hong into her home, Xiuyi really realized the difference between the Konoha family residence and the common people.

The lawn of the entrance garden is well-kept. After entering, it seems to come from the lively street of Konoha to the quiet countryside.

When they came to the door, a middle-aged woman dressed in standard Japanese style was looking at them with a smile.

"Hey, Hong, is this your classmate? This is the first time you have brought a male classmate to your home!" Her words seemed to look at Hong with a hint of ridicule.

When Yuhihong heard this, she seemed to become shy all of a sudden, and said anxiously, "Mom, he is Xiuyi, the son of Uncle Takeda, and he seems to have something to see his father today."

"Oh... so he is Xiuyi! He looks so good-looking, no wonder you brought more lunch boxes during that time, I said your appetite should not be that big." Mrs. Xihi joked with the tone of someone who had come here. .

Yuhi Hong's face was flushed, as if she had been poked in some soft spot.And Xiuyi felt ashamed of being exposed on the spot, so he could only bite the bullet and say hello politely:

"Auntie, hello! I take the liberty of interrupting you today."

"It's okay!" Mrs. Yuhi had a very good attitude and looked at them with a smile.

This house is different from the mansions of Hinata, Uchiha and other rich families in Shuichi's impression, and the overall appearance is small and exquisite.

After taking off his shoes and passing through the courtyard, Xiuyi saw the true red of the setting sun in the main hall.

His eyes were very similar to Hong's, and his facial lines were rigid, giving him a serious look.

Because he heard the sound from the front yard, he knelt on the cushion and waited for Xiuyi to come in.

"Okay, let's talk slowly, I'm going to prepare dinner." Mrs. Xi Ri said something at the door and turned to work.

After Xiuyi came in and saw the two cushions in front of him, he stood at the door and politely greeted Yuhi Zhenhong, "The son of the old man took the liberty to visit, sorry to bother you."

Yuhi Zhenhong's expression also softened, seeing the son of her former comrade-in-arms, she felt a little emotional in her heart. "It's not easy for this kid."

Xiuyi sat down properly in accordance with etiquette.On the other side, Hong also picked up the cushion and sat on the side.

"It's been several years since I saw you last time. I think Kenta should be very pleased to see that you are so good. Why don't you come to our house these years?" Yuhi Zhenhong began to chat about homework.

"I'm still young and ignorant, I'm afraid I'll bring you trouble, it's great that you still remember me."

This is the reason why Xiuyi doesn't want to meet these elders. Although he can handle it well, it doesn't match his nature.

The two sides began to chat about Xiuyi's father, and also mentioned Xiuyi's life over the years.

"What's the matter with you coming here today?" After the family chat was over, Yuhi Zhenhong began to ask Xiuyi why he came today.

"Yes, I do have a little doubt. I would like to ask my uncle. First of all, I am about to graduate early. This is arranged by the third Hokage-sama, and he said that he will personally complete my graduation ceremony with Oshemaru-sama, Oshemaru-sama He will also be my teacher."

Yuhi Makoto was stunned when he heard Xiuyi's words. Normally, his daughter often mentioned Xiuyi's excellence to him, but he really didn't expect that Xiuyi would come into Hokage's sight so quickly.

"I feel that Hokage-sama thinks too much of me, so I want to ask Uncle, is there any reason for this?" Xiuyi cautiously probed.

"Xiuyi, are you graduating early?"

Xi Hihong originally stayed quietly by the side, but at this moment she suddenly heard that Xiuyi was graduating early, so she couldn't help asking.

"Well, yes. Teacher Zhijiu came to me this afternoon for this matter."

"Well……"

When Yuhi Zhenhong heard this, she lowered her eyes as if in deep thought.After a while, his face was slightly solemn: "I think this is indeed a good thing, you don't need to think too much."

Seeing Yuhi Makoto's expression, Shuichi felt that his previous guess might be more in line with Konoha's current situation, so he terminated the topic tactfully.

The two sides chatted for a while, and Xiuyi politely declined the invitation to have dinner at Yuhi's house.

After the visit, he found a ramen restaurant in Konoha Center for dinner, and then returned home in a bit of a hurry.

Sitting on a chair at home, Xiuyi slowly calmed down, carefully sorting out the recent events.

"Maybe that's the case with Konoha Village and Hokage..."

He felt that his guess was close to ten.

Things may have to be analyzed from the construction of Konoha Village. The establishment of Ninja Village has brought about the most obvious change in the ninja world, which is the transformation from family politics to intra-village politics.

The dream of the first generation of Hokage is to build a village where everyone can understand each other, where the strong can protect the weak who admire them, and at the same time protect the smooth growth of the younger generations.

During the reign of the first generation to the second generation of Naruto, in order to implement this concept, the ninja school was established.

One of the purposes is that a more advanced talent selection mechanism is needed. The original selection mechanism of the family is a bit out of date.

The second is to unite all the big and small families in the village and send their outstanding juniors to the ninja school, so that all the juniors can put the village above the family and have a sense of identity with the village.

So the first generation of Hokage and the second generation of Hokage immediately set an example, and the Senju clan always gave priority to the top in the war starting from the establishment of the village.

After paying a lot of sacrifices, the major families initially agreed with the concept of the first Hokage.

When the first generation of Hokage dies, the second generation of Hokage succeeds,

In order to prevent the position of Hokage from being monopolized by the big family, and the will of fire can be passed on, Senju Tomona set the rules for the succession of Kage: every Hokage after Konoha must be a graduate of the ninja school.

This is the rule on the surface, and there may be an unspoken rule that cannot be stated clearly, that is, Hokage must come from the line of master and apprentice.

More than ten years after the establishment of the village, the first ninja war broke out.

At this time, the Konoha school had only been established for more than 10 years, and it hadn't had time to cultivate enough civilian forces. The main force of the war at that time must be mainly ninjas from various families.

In order to establish the mechanism of Hokage's succession, the second generation of Hokage disbanded the remaining members of the Senju clan, removed their surnames, and completely integrated into the entire Konoha.

At the same time, six disciples were successively accepted from the ninja school: Hiruzaru Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Torukaze Akimichi, Kagami Uchiha, Yan Mitomon, and Koharu Koharu.

Among them are big and small families, and some are from civilians.

This attitude is quite obvious. From now on, everyone from big families to civilians will be eligible to inherit Hokage as long as they are good enough.

The major families basically understood the meaning of Hokage.After this kind of rule was established, Konoha's ninja families did not hesitate to share their wealth during World War I.

At that time, Konoha lost Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, two great sea gods, but with the concerted efforts of everyone, the village survived the most difficult and most likely period of separation and disintegration.
